House and Senate

The first comprehensive and systematic comparison of the two houses of the U. S. Congress, House and Senate has long been a success in both Congress and American Government courses.

In the new Third Edition, Ross Baker once again uses his unique approach―interviews with senators who were formerly members of the House, as well as with journalists, lobbyists, and staff members―to paint a clear and colorful portrait of the two houses, which remain distinct, and often antagonistic, partners. House and Senate allows students to peek into the hidden corners of Capitol Hill and offers a fascinating insider’s view of the two chambers.
